PaulE:
  Hello everyone, I came across the "Ascot Forum" last week and have found it very interesting and informative. A bit of my history, I bought my first FT500C in 1990, it came in large lumps in 6 separate boxes. My mate and I put her back together and I've been hook ever since! I now 4 complete bikes and various bits & pieces and now that I have retired I intend to have 1 standard bike and build 1 café racer & one flat tracker. I read the post regarding carb jetting and emailed Mark Apland to order a couple of jet sets  and was amazed that within 7 days I received them at a very reasonable price. I look forward to visiting the forum regularly to pick up ideas and see what other people are doing with their bikes. Regards PaulE

Welcome Paul,

You mean to tell me that Mark is answering e-mails these days? That's great! I know for a while there, he didn't have enough time to check his e-mail regularly. You needed to call him.

I would consider a larger countershaft sprocket to enhance that jetting change. I weigh 200lbs & use a 16 tooth countershaft. Some folks are using a 17 tooth, but sometimes there is some slight clearancing required. The taller sprocket will allow the bike to move down the highway at a more relaxed engine speed.

Sounds like you have a great plan. One original bike & 2 customs. Please post up some pics of your bikes. We like pictures.

7 days? Holy moly that's fast, it took him nearly 2 months to ship my stuff out.
Welcome to the forums & looking forward to reading about your bikes, Lefty.
